„It remains to be added ... that Helmut Schildkamp helped more than 3,500 children find new parents over the course of thirty years , that today ... he creates sculptures with endless surfaces and that he still lives by the Chinese motto that determined his life: »It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness«“
„A person of the greatest possible social integrity, who spoke as he thought, and lived accordingly.“
Richard D. Precht, Lenin kam nur bis Lüdenscheid,
List/Ullstein: Berlin 2005, pp. 349, 92 (translation).
